ContributeAbhinandan’s version of how he and Rajyasree first met:
Abhinandan: I was shooting a documentary in Bengal, actually. I was in the Sundarbans and, late at night, I was going with my crew.
Rajyasree: And? Chudail came?
Abhinandan: Suddenly there was this [malicious laugh] and the whole crew ran off. I was like, what is this? Then, suddenly, she emerged.
Rajyasree: And then?
Abhinandan: Then I said I’m not scared because I’m a brave Punjabi with Tamil blood also. So I said, “I’m not scared.” She was impressed and said, “Will you give me a job?”
Rajyasree: And when you came back, you brought a chudail with you. [Surprisingly] you didn’t say I came towards you sitting on a tiger.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss Season 2 of the Netflix series Politician; Saif Ali Khan’s comments on nepotism; documentary The Saroj Khan Story, and various commercials.
